They might be accomodating but they are breaking the law
Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 2011-04-22 11:31.The sex discrimination act has protected breastfeeding women long before the Equality act of 2010. This woman should sue the pub -it is actually against the law to ask a breastfeeding woman to stop brestfeeding her child and leave. What about the child's right to feed? You wouldn't ask a customer to leave if they were in the middle of their meal, would you? Pretty sure it would be against their human rights....?
I still find it amazing that although the breastfeeding cessation age across the globe is 2 years, people in the UK are so ignorant about the topic -let alone knowing about the multiple benefits of long term, natural breastfeeding to the MOTHER AND child. I really hope that all breastfeeding women will continue to nurse in public (despite idiotic behaviour such as this) as this is the only way to normalise breastfeeding to the masses and increase breastfeeding rates across the country (which should have a huge impact on the pressures of NHS!). I frequently breastfeed my 14month old in public and have never had a problem, so far. Dr Dawson, Poole, Dorset
